How to Identify a Wasp Nest on Your Property

Wasps can quickly turn from a nuisance to a danger when they decide to build a nest on your property. At Wasp Exterminator 247, we’re often called out to homes and businesses where nests have gone unnoticed for weeks — sometimes right under people’s noses. In this article, we’ll show you the key signs of a wasp nest, where to look, and when to act.

 Common Signs You Have a Wasp Nest

If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to inspect further or call a professional:

• Increased wasp activity near your home, especially around the same spot

• Wasps flying in and out of a small hole or gap in walls, rooflines, or sheds

• Buzzing or scratching sounds in the loft, wall cavities, or ceiling voids

• Visible structure (grey paper-like material) in sheltered areas

• Aggressive behaviour from wasps when you go near certain areas

 Where Wasps Typically Build Nests

Wasps prefer quiet, sheltered spaces that are undisturbed and have easy access to the outdoors. Common places include:

• Loft spaces and roof eaves

• Garden sheds and garages

• Under roof tiles or fascia boards

• Wall cavities and chimney stacks

• Behind air bricks or cladding

• Bushes, shrubs, or hollow tree trunks

 Why Early Detection Matters

Catching a wasp nest early means:

• Fewer wasps to deal with (nests can grow to thousands if left untreated)

• Lower risk of stings, especially for children and pets

• Safer and easier removal

• Avoiding structural damage caused by nesting in walls or roofs

Wasps don’t go away on their own — and disturbing them without the right protection can be dangerous.

 What to Do if You Spot a Nest

Do not attempt to treat it yourself. Wasp nests can become aggressive if disturbed, especially in summer. Instead:

1. Keep a safe distance

2. Note the entry/exit point

3. Avoid loud noises or vibrations near the nest

4. Call Wasp Exterminator 247 for expert help
